Death at First Sight Giveaway!

*** Giveaway closed. Congratulations to Carol S., the winner! ***

Happy March! Some of you know I'm launching a new series this July, the Psychic Poker Pro Mystery series that I'm writing as Paige Sleuth. I'm happy to report that as of today book one, Murder in the Cards, is now up for pre-order at a few places. Here's some more information about the book:

Tiffany Swanson is finally living the dream when she quits her stressful job to become a poker pro. Except her dream job doesn't turn out to be so perfect when she picks up the troubling vision of a murdered man from one of her opponents. Even more disturbing, Tiffany didn't know she was telepathic.

Before long she finds herself spending more time investigating a homicide than playing cards. But with an entire wedding party to suspect and only one weekend to pinpoint the guilty party, how will Tiffany ever figure out "whodunit" in time?

Since there are some psychic elements in my new series, I thought it would be fun to give away another psychic cozy mystery. Death at First Sight by Lena Gregory is the first in a cute cozy series that I really enjoyed. Book three, Clairvoyant and Present Danger, just released last month, and Lena also has another cozy series out that I haven't started yet but looks adorable. Here's the description of Death at First Sight:

Since she left her psychiatric practice in New York City to open up a psychic shop in her hometown on Long Island, Cass Donovan has given her fair share of readings to conflicted customers. But what she sees in Ellie Hawkins' future doesn't bode well.

When Ellie's mother Marge publicly confronts Cass about the reading, the embarrassment makes her want to curl up and die. But when she later stumbles across Marge's body—and is arrested for her murder—Cass is suddenly the star of Bay Island's rumor mill.

Out on bail, Cass is determined to prove her innocence and save Ellie from meeting the fate in her unfortunate vision. But even with the help of her friends Bee and Stephanie, Cass will have to channel some serious sleuthing instinct to find the real killer...

Murder, Curlers & Cream Giveaway!

*** Giveaway closed. Congratulations to Cathy I., the winner! ***

I've been running the occasional giveaway from my Facebook page when I come across a book I'd like to share, but I thought I'd try doing one from my blog instead. This is my first time doing this so if you run into any issues posting comments, please let me know at marlabradeen@gmail.com.

Without further ado, this giveaway is for an ebook copy of Murder, Curlers & Cream by Arlene McFarlane. If you like humorous mysteries with a touch of romance, you're going to love this story. It's witty and fun and just an overall good read. I should warn you though, it is not a pure cozy. The book contains some language and a couple sexual references, but nothing raunchy. If you're okay with that, read on.

Valentine Beaumont is a beautician with a problem. Not only has she got a meddling mother, a wacky staff, and a dying business, but now she's got a dead client who was strangled while awaiting her facial.

With business the way it is, combing through this mystery may be the only way to save her salon. Until a second murder, an explosion, a kidnapping, death threats, and the hard-nosed Detective Romero complicate things. But Valentine will do anything to untangle the crime. That's if she can keep her tools of the trade in her bag, keep herself alive, and avoid falling for the tough detective.

In the end, how hard can that be?
